Do you have a small garden?
Choosing smaller cultivars and dwarf forms of reliable favorites that won’t outgrow the site will help to keep pruning and editing to a minimum.

Hakonechloa macra ‘Aureola’ (Japanese forest grass)
Smaller ornamental grasses can add season-long texture and foliage color, with many needing little or no care. One of few varieties suitable for woodland gardens or other shady areas is Japanese forest grass, with brilliant golden foliage that lights up even the darkest of spaces. Use these versatile grasses to edge borders or create repeat patterns with complementary colors of purple or brown. They are also stunning when planted in containers in an entryway, or as an eye-catching focal point. Hardy to USDA Zones 5-9, Japanese forest grass forms neat mounds up to two feet high and wide and performs best in rich, well-draining soil. Photo pnwpetalpixels
